I went out for my 10k run...I am tired but feel good.I am trying to train for the Victoria Times Colonsit 10k run April 29th...and I need to get rid of 20 pounds of ugly fat otherwise it's goon take me 50 minutes to finish it.

I ran the 10k for 12 years...I think I stopped for at least 4 years..and I want to run it again. I have no idea why other than it became a challenge at work...someone said to me I couldn't do it....so plant based vegan power all the way.

I am still struggling get any weights done...I like them but by the time I get home I am tired

But I have now lost 4 pounds since I started this blog...and I feel better during the day...I just get good and tired in the evening.

What do you do for work? Are you stuck at a desk all day? We I was stuck at a desk some of my co-workers and I all bought yoga balls and swapped them for our chairs (if you work a corporate job you can probably even ask HR and they will probably buy one for you). They are good for posture aka strengthening muscles in your stomach, core, and back. You can bring in dumb bells and use them while sitting on your yoga ball at your desk too. Haha I got some funny looks from people but I got a little work out in so I didn't care.Great Job keeping up with your fitness journal on here even though you have been so busy at work! I am definitely going to recommend that you qualify for the prize package. Oh and don't give up! Just because the challenge is done for the month doesn't mean keeping a fitness journal isn't still a great way to keep holding yourself accountable.

Ohhhhhhh no I plan on keeping up my journal no this website...it has helped me a great deal.Sometimes when I put things into words...and then read them I can see where I need help. I like that it makes me accountable to myself to.

I work as a ticket agent...so I really don't sit much during that 8 hour period. I see and talk to people all day log. The job is really entertaining but at times can be very stressful when line up's start to get very long. My hours vary at this job I sometimes start work at 430am-130pm...then I hop to my other job which does require just sitting and data entering into the computer. Ohhhh I try to fit things in.

I have discovered I want to train for the times colonist 10k this year...so I am concentrating on my walk/jog more. I still need to lose some weight. The run is April 29th..so I am determined to get rig of some of this fat hanging around. I have been training with weights and I love when I am done...but I am not consistent. I amy go three days a week for two weeks...then maybe only one day the next week.I am seeing a great deal of difference in my arms..because they are the skinniest part of my body lol!!I have good strength in my legs...because I am always walking or running everywhere....and I hike a lot.

No they wouldn't allow any balls at work...I am face to face with the public.I do fidget alot...I love walking along the water...I try to do some counter push ups when i get fidgety.

My problem is my love for carbs...loland being a night snacker..I love to snack at night...and I was always picking carbs:)But the last few weeks I have not done that...so the weight is slowly creeping off.Thanks for your pep talkI really appreciate it...

Hey there, Beverly! Great job on your journal and fitness and everything! As one of the VB&F team members, just thought I'd let you know that we received your email request to have your journal reviewed for eligiblity for the NYNY challenge, and you'll definitely be receiving the prize package! We'll be assembling and shipping them out beginning next week, so be on the lookout mid-February for your package to arrive!

So I have really been trying to train as much as I can for this 10k run April 29th.

getting excited. I have gotten rid of a few more pounds. I really need to slim down some so I can make it through the whole 10k lol!!

I am doing this run on a dare. A friend at work said I wouldn't be ale to run the whole thing...so a dare...is a dare...and I love to prove them wrong lol!

So I have been building up my kilometers

I walk/run one day maybe 3-4k then do a few weights the next day and go for a walk, next day walk/run maybe 6k...next day weights...next day 9-10k and one rest day...but I never really rest I usually go for a walk.

So that has been working out pretty good for me.

Still like my carbs at night...but I only have them if I really want it
